i got defeted once by this stupid scholars mate man its sooooo bad hey  X [ Xbigboy i'll call u X frm now ok ? ] do u know a way to block this scholars mate ?

Great if it works, but as illustrated in the second sequence, it's failure leads to a horrible position for the player attempting to mate.

1. e4 e5 2. Bc4 Bc5 3. Qh5 g6

 As long as their pawn is not covered, you can attack it with your queen, following up by taking their rook.  I used this in a regional tournament and was able to decimate the entire kingside. 

  

another thing to do is if they do b6 and then if the knight wasn't there then you can take the pawn with check and then the rook

with your queen out early it gives you an advantage over someone who keeps it as their last peice

This trick is pretty simply and easy to prevent, has become very well-known to everyone, except I sometimes miscalculated by the messy of my chess men standing around, covering the very small mate squares which very hard to spot and could somehow prepetual prevent.

to risky for my likes

you never get caught twice, you,ll remember.

My cousin got caught a couple of times by Scholar's mate. Then I took pity on him and showed him how to block it.

I encountered this for the first time on chess.com and fell for it-usually you don't have to worry about king safety so soon!  It is indeed easily countered though, got my revenge in a rematch.
